Time up north visiting family!

The kids and I flew up to WI to see family a few weeks ago! We were able to be there for Brittany's graduation party, visited the zoo, Bay Beach, friends and family, shopping, birthdays, and a million other things!! We had such a wonderful time! After spending a few days with my parents, Heidi and the kids and I drove over to see Mike's family in MN! Dave and Annie (Mike's older brother and his wife) had just had their 3rd baby boy, so got to see him- so precious!! We spent some time with the family, enjoyed some great outdoor activities and headed back to WI to catch our flight back to TN. It was so wonderful to visit and see everyone, but it is SO good to be home. God is amazingly wonderful- He kept us safe and allowed everything to go smoothly. Praise Him!!! Thanks to all our family for your prayers and all the wonderful things you did for us while we were there!!
